How do they float, where does the water cross the back of the plug and where does it cross the face?

Ha, Ha, no I was just curious if it would be easier and less trial and error to get a nice swimming plug without having to install a metal lip and also that is easier to make than say a bottle or even a darter.

The ones I fished had weight in the arse and floated with the snout almost straight up. They will wake nicely on top, but will also bob when chugged. When you get the nose under, they have a short consistant wiggle but then fail to one side or the other. Very versatile. I had invisioned a large wood with more weight to hold better in current. Just randon thoughts though.
